Solved.
It turns out that 'svnlook diff' seems to want to create a temporary .svn
directory as it runs. Apache was invoking post-commit with / as the working
directory. Changing my post-commit script so that it first cd's to a
directory that is writable by my repository's 'svn' user (the userid as
which I'm running Apache) solves the problem.
The requirement for 'svnlook diff' to be run from directory to which it has
write permissions should perhaps be documented somewhere. Or, the svnlook
should perhaps be updated to write to create temporary files in /tmp and not
try to write directly to the working directory.
Anyways, thanks to those how made suggestions.
Regards,
Stuart.
